Default saddle bags

I don't know if this is the write forum but I'll give it a shot. I'd like to put RoadKing Classic Leather Saddlebags on my Softail Standard. Can this be done? Michael

Default RE: saddle bags

I would think it would be kinda expensive to get all the pieces and figure out where/how to install the mounting brackets on your scoot which does not have the same fender bracing. You might try searching aftermarket. I have seen some very nice gags that resemble RKC bags from aftermarket sources. In almost every issue of "American Iron" mag there are ads for a variety of bags for every model Harley. Once you get bags you'll like the ability to carry all kinds of chit!!

Forgot to mention getting quick disconnct bags. Easier to clean your scoot and you can got back to the nice look of the Std. when ever you want.
